Thank you for your service! Applicants with a military backround in my experience adjust well to med school. They understand a chain of command, having a Boss if you will. They are prompt, able to achieve goals and objectives while being adaptable. Most importantly, dealing with set backs.
One of my advisees was a Naval Academy grad. She failed the 1st anatomy test and I had to meet with her. She said it was her fault, and it won't happen again. No angst, or despair, just the resolve to change strategy and prepare for the next exam. She went on to graduate, never failing another exam. Just an example of how applicants with real world experience, in my view, have an easier time adapting to medical school. Good luck and best wishes! I hope you apply to our school.
